Oops... I corrected my post to read 392...

That's an excellent explanation for vaporlock. I can understand that completely.

Okay, so what's with the percolating thing? And what's with using the insulating spacer under the carb? Is it to keep the fuel from boiling in the bowls of the carb? (Please excuse the absurdity of the question.) Can the carbs really get that darned hot on the intake manifold? Very intersting.

And while I'm in a dumb question mood, what is a power valve? I hear people say that they "blew out" their power valve because they did something (but I don't know what).

Thanks guys,

Keith

If the carbs would just use MS Excel, I could figure all this stuff out.
